Church, estate
negotiating
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
GODERICH — There's still no settlement between
Trivitt Memorial Anglican Church and the Mildred
Grimes estate.
While the case between the estate and the church
was to be heard last Friday at the Goderich Court
House, the judge had a conflict and no decision was
reached on how much compensation the estate's
trustees will receive.
Lawyers representing the two trustees and Trivitt
held a settlement conference Friday afternoon but
they couldn't reach a deal.
Grimes, who died in December 2003, left the bulk
of her estate to Trivitt, solving that church's finan-
cial woes with an approximately $5 million bequest.
The church recently held a community thanksgiv-
ing event marking Grimes' bequest.
The trustees of the estate (Edna Sims and Peter
Raymond, both of Exeter) are claiming the standard
five per cent of the total estate — 2.5 per cent for
receipts and 2.5 per cent for disbursements. The
church, however, wants the courts to decide how
much compensation the trustees are owed.
While no agreement has been reached, estate
lawyer Kim McLean said negotiations continue.
"They're going back to their clients and we're
going back to our clients to see if there can be a
compromise," he told the Times -Advocate Monday
afternoon.
Parade this Saturday
GRAND BEND — It's time once again for Ontario's
West Coast Riders to help local kids with special needs.
The West Coast Riders' 4th annual motorcycle parade
starts Saturday at noon in Grand Bend at the clubhouse
on Highway 21 across from Denny's Drive-in. The
parade is an effort to raise stuffed toys and money for
local charities helping children with special needs.
Parade watchers are encouraged to donate a toy along
the route. The parade goes ahead rain or shine.
Last year's parade raised $25,466 and over 1,200 toys
for local charities in Huron, Lambton and Middlesex
counties. Over 200 motorcyclists took part.
The first 100 riders will receive a T-shirt. There will
also be prizes for the best decorated motorcycles. Entry
into the parade is a new unwrapped stuffed toy and $15
or $75 in pledges. Tickets are available at the Colonial
Hotel, 238-2371, and the Grand Bend Chamber of
Commerce, 238-2001.
More information on the parade can be found at
